Stellenbosch and Franschoek

Our accommodation in Stellenbosch, Cape Town

The one where the kombi is parked was where we stayed. It is inside a complex with lots of these little townhouses....we had 2 bedrooms and it was self catering...just enough because we were out most of the time during the day. Really had a lovely stay :)

Relaxing under her playgym :)

It was during these two weeks that she started taking toys with her hands and enjoying the playgym that she got as a gift from my aunt while visiting them there...such precious moments!

She was wearing her vests or just in her nappy most of the time, the heat was pretty bad at times.

Time is not standing still... :)

Kiara Lodge Where has the time gone! Can't believe it's been about 5 weeks since my last blog. And so much has happened since then. We had a wonderful time on holiday...it was so peaceful and simply breathtaking with the mountains around us. We just relaxed and loved every minute of it :) 25 weeks Little Chanette's cot arrived and i am so happy with it! We had to order it and waited a few weeks while they made it. My parents bought it as a gift :) All is going well with us both! Went for a scan on Tuesday and she is growing pretty fast now. She almost reached an extra 1kg since last month. She now weighs 1819g :) So cute and we got to see more of her little face this time, the nose, eyes and upper lip! Simply adorable haha! I am getting so excited now as time is getting closer for her arrival. I know it's still a few weeks to go, but i can't wait! So far her date of birth is the 5th of Sept. My babyshower was on the 28th of J...

5 September 2013

The day we have been waiting for and suddenly the 9 months of waiting felt like it went by so fast! I was scheduled for 7:15am to go into theater for my c-section. We were at hospital at 5am with my mom...she was such a great help! And my hubby was there next to me and with me constantly and as much as they would allow him to be! So after prepping me for theater and taking me there they did the epidural and made me lie down and it's amazing how fast it works. Within seconds i could feel it kicking in and minutes after that i could not feel my legs anymore...so weird and funny! Hehe! So it took a few more minutes before they would let Quintus in and he then came to sit at the top of my bed talking to me and keeping me calm...but i must say i was very calm and super excited to just see my little girl! Mommy and Daddy to be :) My mom and i We are a family! :):):) 49cm 37cm Giving her a bit of formula right after birth because her blood sugar dropped t...
